(CPSTs) are available to inspect
and demonstrate how to correctly
use and install child restraints. For
CPST availability in Canada, check
with Transport Canada or the
Provincial Ministry of Transportation

Securing the Child within the
Child Restraint
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a crash if the child is not
properly secured in the child
restraint. Secure the child
properly following the instructions
that came with that child restraint.
Where to Put the
Restraint
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in a child
restraint system or infant restraint
system secured in a rear seating
position.
We recommend that children and
child restraints be secured in a rear
seat, including: an infant or a child
riding in a rear-facing child restraint;
a child riding in a forward-facing
child seat; an older child riding in a
booster seat; and children, who are
large enough, using safety belts.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great if the
airbag deploys.
WARNING
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the passenger airbag
inflates. This is because the back
of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the
inflating airbag. Secure rear
facing child restraints in a
rear seat.
A child in a forward facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the outboard front
passenger airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a forward
position. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the outboard front passenger
seat, always move the passenger
seat as far back as it will go. It is
better to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.
